Abstract

Functionalized block copolymers were synthesized as adhesion promoters using Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP). They were designed for glass/epoxy and copper/epoxy interfaces. The former contained triethoxysilane groups in the first block and secondary amine groups in the second. The latter contained imidazole groups in the first and amine groups in the second block. These block copolymers were shown to form ordered monolayers on the respective glass and copper surfaces using neutron reflectivity. Adhesion measurements showed an enhancement of adhesion after application of these block copolymers.
